We are the official airline of Monumental Sports & Entertainment, the ownership group of the NBA’s Washington Wizards, NHL’s Washington Capitals and WNBA’s Washington Mystics. Together, we’re creating unique access, experiences and content for both sports fans and travellers. The partnership also sees us as a partner of the Capital One Arena, supported by the state-of-the-art Etihad Airways Lounge.
Melbourne isn’t just one of the most popular destinations in our global network; it’s also the home to the Etihad Stadium, Melbourne’s premier sports and entertainment precinct. We’ve been the main sponsor of Melbourne City Football Club since 2014. During that time, the club has experienced significant growth, claiming the FFA Cup title in 2016.
We jumped on board the NYCFC ship at the start and haven’t looked back. This partnership was our first with a professional sports team in the US – and we couldn’t be prouder. In 2017, we were honoured with naming rights of the playing surface for all NYCFC home matches.
We’ve proudly stood side-by-side with the Chennai Super Kings as their official sponsor since February 2024. Our partnership with the Yellow Army goes beyond sponsorship – it's a testament to the shared values of bringing people together and creating unforgettable experiences.
